Dear Editor: As a Jersey City Muslim resident and voter, I would like to ask our current Mayor of Jersey City, Jerramiah Healy, did the NYPD conduct a widespread surveillance of Jersey City Muslims as part of a counter-terrorism operation?

I am asking the Mayor, City Council and all City Officials to release such information if it is available immediately.

As we know Jersey City has one of the largest Muslim communities, many mosques and an Islamic Center that serves their needs.

On behave of the Muslim community of Jersey City, we are asking our Mayor to release such information immediately especially if there was any Jersey City law enforcement agencies or officials that were involved in these widespread surveillance operations.

Sincerely,

Nabil Youssef

Former City Council Candidate
